Asprogrammer is what i use for a ch341a

 

As for flashing on that board dont use a test clip those are just a massive pain to get working and pointless when theres already an spi header for flashing the bios chip

 

Bios chip is located at the bottom right of the board abit above the front panel headers, below it is a header marked jspi1 which is the spi header that you should be using to flash the bios

 

As for using the jspi header, pinout can be found Here, duplicate pins can be ignored alongside pins that arent available on the side headers of the ch341a, think youll only need 6 of em connected atleast looking at the ch341a side headers, just need some dupont female - female jumpers

 

If you run into any more troubles ill see if i can help, most ppl dont go this far when toying around with pc hardware so impressive that you actually thought of external bios programming instead of assuming the board is broken and throwing it out when a simple bios flash will fix it

Hey dude thanks for the help i think im starting to get it but still feel lost the jsp11 connector thingy was such a good idea the jumper cables are useless then i was also wondering if youd be down to try to help me via discord or something id be more than happy to share screen my laptop screen (thats what im using temporarly) so we can install the stuff all over again and then i can open the camera and show you my motherboard and you can guide me or something if its okay with you, you can add my discord: zomx_

thanks again :)
